How it works

Step 01

Two minutes

You tell us about the property.

Postcode, bedrooms, house or flat, condition. Two minutes. No obligation.

Step 02

Within 24 hours

We call you within 24 hours.

A real person from our Birmingham team. We answer your questions and book a visit at a time that suits you.

Step 03

Within a few days

We visit and make a written offer.

After the visit you get a fixed monthly rent and the lease length in writing. Leases run from two years to ten years and a day. You choose.

Step 04

At signing

We sign and take over.

We arrange the certificates, licences and inventory. If any work is needed before the property can be occupied, we agree it with you first.

Step 05

After handover

A family moves in through the council.

Birmingham City Council places households from its temporary accommodation list. The council manages the household’s tenancy and support. We manage the property.

Step 06

Every month

You are paid, every month, on the same date.

Occupied or empty, on time or not from the council, your rent from Rent Lift is fixed for the full term.

Step 07

End of term

At the end, you get your property back.

Inspected against the inventory, in good order, with the certificates up to date.
